From The link in the message below. This is its original purpose in a nutshell. Obviously like other technologies it can be abused by scammers!
AT&T Relay Services History
Since the introduction of the first TTY in the early 1960s, AT&T has been committed to communications services for the deaf, hard-of-hearing and speech-disabled communities.
Pioneering Relay Services
AT&T helped pioneer Operator Services for the Deaf. In 1986, AT&T was the first telecommunications company to offer a TTY Relay Service for consumers. Since 1989, we’ve operated fully automated relay call-centers throughout the United States.
Bringing Relay Online
In June of 2002, we launched AT&T Internet Relay Service, which allows relay calls to be placed over a web-enabled computer. This web-based service provides a fast, easy way for users to make relay calls without using a TTY. It offers speed, convenience and flexibility, as well as features for personalizing and enhancing the relay experience.
Relay By Signing
In January of 2003, we launched AT&T Video Relay Service. The online relay service allows relay users to sign rather than type their communications. Using a web-cam and a high speed Internet connection, relay users who prefer sign language have the choice to communicate in real-time, in their language of choice.
